We Are ESL – ESL’s success comes from the atmosphere in the company!

How did you find your way to ESL, when did you start working and what was your first position?

As I grew up around three languages at home, I have always had a great passion for languages. When I started to earn my own money, suddenly my next passion was born: travelling While I was working in Turkey and my time there was getting to an end, I just wanted to check if it would be worth to go back to Switzerland or if I should extend my work contract in Turkey. I found a job offer that was made for me: I applied at ESL for the LTC Officer position in Luzern and I got the job. In December 2011 I started working as an LTC in Luzern.

What’s your current position at ESL and how did you get there, which development did you follow?

I am currently the IAC Manager for the Swiss German market. While I was in the Sales Office in Luzern, I got the opportunity to work for 2 months in the Head Office in Montreux, to help out our IAC Department during the summer time. I had a great time. I liked the job and I enjoyed seeing the other side of a booking. Working in the Head Office really got me, cause I finally met my colleagues from the other departments; I still appreciate them very much! After those 2 months, I went back to Luzern. Later, Carole, the Head of the IAC Department, asked me if I would be interested in going back to Montreux for a full-time position. And I agreed. After more than 3 years working in a Sales Office I was happy to get challenged in a new department. So I packed all my belongings and drove down to Montreux, not knowing if I was going to regret the decision or not. After working 2 months in the IAC Department as an IAC Officer, Carole asked me to become the IAC Manager of the Swiss German clients. So as you can imagine, I don’t regret my decision!
